Geoff Keighley:

I think that's, you know, very different. Nintendo really for the first time ever partnered with Illumination, Chris Meledandri, who had done even done a Despicable Me the minion movies. And Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of Mario actually worked with them to build up this world.

So what I think is so great about that movie, is that it's it looks so beautiful, and it's so rich. And you know, for anyone that's played a Super Mario Brothers game, at some point in their life, you probably have everyone has just the fact that this is on the big screen as a movie and animated movie. I think it's just incredibly novel.

It's just — it's a fun movie. It's got, you know, a great voice cast, and it just looks beautiful. So I think that's the thing is, it really looks like the video games, which is incredibly special.
